Thats not how statistics work. The average number of crimes per person is going to be the same so the crime per capita is the same as the amount of crime an person should expect to experience on average.

You may be thinking of a median or mode, which can differ based on the shape of the distribution curve.

Here is another source [1] that draws the conclusion that "approximately half of crimes are not reported to the police".

Here is yet another source from the U.S. Department of Justice [2]: "During the period from 2006 to 2010, 52% of all violent victimizations, or an annual average of 3,382,200 violent victimizations, were not reported to the police.".

Realistically speaking it is hard to measure unreported crimes given that by definition they are - after all - unreported. And yet the fact that some data is not collected or it is hard to collect, doesn't mean that the data doesn't exist.

No, Windows goes out of its way not to allow a popup window from a background application to take focus. Instead, it blinks the taskbar icon. An incoming call should not start eating the keystrokes you were sending to the active application. Focus stealing isn't totally solved as an issue, but it's certainly regarded as a problem to be solved and not the desired behavior.

I think we’re on the same page.

I was trying to say that there was still a cost to using their own chips for server AI because they still had to pay to have them made so they weren’t “free” because they’re Apple products as opposed to buying nVidia parts.

You’re right, there is a cost to them to put the AI stuff on end user chips too since die space isn’t free and extra circuits mean fewer chips fit per wafer.

I've always wondered why nobody has created something that looks like a catamaran with two rowing shells and a road bike on top directly connected to a prop. That would have minimal drag, an optimal body positioning for using leg muscle strength, and would be fun and intuitive to pilot (facing forwards, feels like biking, etc). The obvious downside is that height above water may be an issue so the catamaran would have to be wide, but it seems solvable.
AI has the potential to revolutionize work in many positive ways, but realizing this potential requires careful consideration of the challenges and a concerted effort to mitigate negative impacts.

Focusing the discussion around "safety" doesn't make sense to me. It's just as reasonable to focus around "order" or "lawfulness" or "cleanliness" or anything else.

Llama3-70B mentions "sentience" independently
We talked with the team before this went up --- originally, it had people's full names on it, which nobody liked. I think a lot of people here have had bad experiences in other company cultures that don't apply here; we're a profoundly bottom-up team (we don't have product managers, ICs [across the board] own chunks of the roadmap, EMs don't assign work) and signing names to things that get done probably makes more sense here than it does elsewhere.

That's not to say we don't have internal dysfunctions, or that we don't do things that annoy engineers. Just that that our dysfunctions are different.

Weekly feels right to me. We'll see how it goes.
I was a bit surprised to see no mention of StarLisp [1]. Is this just a fundamentally different approach? I can imagine that targeting modern machines rather than the Connection Machine would be very different, but I thought the notations used in StarLisp were nice and could be reused.

> The purpose of unions is to extract as much as possible from the employer on the behalf of its members [...]

This is such a weird take. Why would employees do that? Employees benefit when the company benefits. If the company increases profits by 10%, that's 10% more that could potentially go to employee benefits, salaries, etc.

I want my employer to make as much profit as possible, because that guarantees my long-term employment and allows me to ask for a higher salary. If the company folds, the union folds, and everybody loses their jobs. Nobody wants that to happen.
This is controversial. Some studies have found that petty crime like this leads to more crime. Or stated differently if you solve these little crimes there is less big crime as well. However this is very controversial and those studies have been criticized - I am not able to figure out the truth here, feel free to do your own research.

I mean swim fins also propel swimmers at superhuman speeds (aside, it would be really cool if there was a proper competitive community for stuff like that, like how on land we have races for runners and races for cyclists; edit: Google informs me the competitive sport has world championships and is called "finswimming"). Is there any quantitative comparison between this doodad and fins?

It doesn't even have convenience going for it since you have to strap into it, so it's probably almost as much of a ball-ache to put on as fins, plus the awkward problem that it's hard to stand up.

If they can make it work without the waist strap (or have super-quick disconnect for that strap) I could see that convenience being nice, but still, I'd like proper comparison with fins.

But this isn't what the leetcode interview tests for. Reversing a binary tree, or figuring out how to arrange the parking lot to fit the most cars or whatever isn't a working understanding, it's essentially memorization. Being able to memorize something like that takes intelligence and dedication, so it does a pretty good job selecting for that, but it also filters out a lot of people who for good and valid reasons don't want to spend hours and hours studying. Not even doctors/lawyers do this: they do it exactly once and never again.

Not sure about the legal details of his case but this could indeed be good for any appeals he may file.

While we like to think of the law and its application as a dispassionate process that only looks at the facts, the sense that someone has been harmed plays a big role in the process and jury decisions.

This development weakens any arguments around harm to others, it could also strengthen arguments in favor of incompetence as opposed to malfeasance when it comes to explaining what actually happened to investor money.
> When I suggest that people shouldn't fly in planes, I get responses like I've called their children ugly.

Isolating everyone to only ever see the place they were born and never travel the world seems like a big overreaction to me. Transport (and specifically aviation) is hardly the biggest offender as well. Energy, Industry, and Agriculture are 80% of emissions, we should start there.

Delivering one pizza, or delivering two pizzas to the same address doesn't cost any more.

But what you usually get where I live, besides the "delivery fee" and the tip, is an additional surcharge on each individual item. This is not visible because it's included with the price of the item. To figure it out you have to compare the app's menu with the real restaurant's menu.
That's a different crime, so your reasoning does not apply.

It my understanding (I could be wrong) that on financial crimes it does make a difference if you make the victims whole or not. No idea if it also applies somehow after the ruling, hence why I asked on this forum for intelligent discourse. Sorry if that bothers you, though.

To me, this sounds like the rate of unreported crimes would be lower in dense areas, making them even safer than they appear in the statistics.

You are correct that if the average number of observers per crime is higher, that could indeed make a place feel comparatively more dangerous since the while the liklihood of being a victim is lower, the liklihood of seeing a victim is higher. However, I would posit that a lot more goes into feelings of safety and we haven't seen any data on how large this effect size might be.

The spectrum didn't have an official (**) floppy disk add-on, the official mass storage upgrade* was the microdrive, which was a 100kB tape loop format - an improvement on cassettes, but not by much.

As a result, there was a wide range of unofficial floppy disk addons, which then brought the issue that there were so many competing products that supporting them all was near impossible and hardly any commercial software bothered.

Post main-popularity, most people settled on the Beta Disc / Beta 128 from Technology Research as being the main unofficial standard, somewhat bolstered by it being adopted in eastern europe and russia, but during the main popularity period, even it had really poor market share in the UK.

* There was also the cartridges for the Interface 2, but that's a different beast entirely and they were even less common than the Interface 1 + microdrive.

** of course there was the Spectrum +3 near the end of the spectrum's life which had a built-in 3" amstrad drive, which saw reasonable commercial support, but it was long after the main portion of the spectrum's popularity, and at a time when the ST and Amiga were beginning to dominate.
> s using GEM's vectors there somehow wrong just because it's a pain to deal with relatively boosted frames?

No, that's not the issue. "GEM's vectors" still correspond to invariants--you can re-express them, if you like, as appropriate contractions of the stress-energy tensor or the Einstein tensor. Expressing them as vectors in a carefully chosen coordinate chart is just a convenience, to make the math easier to understand.

The same is not true of the "pseudo-tensors" that are used in attempts to define a "total energy of the universe as a whole". Those do not correspond to invariants. Expressing them in a carefully chosen coordinate system is not just a convenience; it's a necessity, because in other coordinate charts they either vanish or you can't even write them down at all. That's the issue.

> Brown & York 1993

The term "quasilocal" in the title should be an indicator that this method does not solve the issue I described above for the universe as a whole. It does give an alternate way of making sense of the concept of "gravitational binding energy" for a finite, bound system surrounded by vacuum, or of the idea of treating the mass of a black hole as a form of energy. But the universe as a whole is neither of these things.

I follow the science, 2-3 cups of coffee a day is what was found to reduce mortality so that's what I drink. The amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee actually varies significantly, 70-140 mg, but at least 3 cups is most likely still below the FDA's recommended maximum of 400mg.

And I get headaches in the morning sometimes, coffee + aspirin has been very helpful.

The whole point of money is being able to do what you enjoy. And it's clear he absolutely loved these shenanigans. Losing it, regaining it, and finding something new - that was what he wanted and seemingly spent his entire life doing. The journey was the destination.

You can see this everywhere in all aspects of life as well. Jeff Bezos, and countless other billionaires, could easily retire tomorrow and have enough money to do essentially anything they could even dream of. So what do they do? Continue to work 60 hours a week doing pretty much the same stuff they were doing on their way up. Because they love it.

On the other end of the spectrum countless rappers have managed to break out of a life of crime to become successful and make millions. Yet many end up right back in that life of crime. It's because they enjoy the lifestyle. They don't want to just be comfortable, but to actually do what they enjoy.

Only in the sense of "Intel is responsible for most of computation" ... No one uses ECC pervasively anywhere, that's sort of the point of the article.
It was figuratively. Obviously everyone has different working hours/patterns depending on job market, skill set and personal situation.

But since you asked, Google is famous for low workloads. Or Microsoft. Or any other old and large slow moving company with lots of money, like IBM, Intel, SAP, ASML, Airbus, DHL, Siemens, manufacturing, aerospace, big pharma, transportation, etc. No bootstrapped "agile" start-ups and scale-ups, or failing companies that need to compete in a race to the bottom.

Depends mostly on where you live though.

Baselessly calling every greening and sustainability effort “greenwashing”, especially when there’s practically no thought put into what the alternative might be, is trite and borderline intellectually dishonest. They don’t want to have a conversation about how it could be improved, they just want to interject “haha that’s stupid, corporations are fooling all of you sheeple” from their place of moral superiority. This shit is so played out.

The user manual is also quite awesome :) Here's the bit about copy protection (translation is mine):

Know that by doing so you will be nipping Yugoslavia's young software industry in the bud and hurt us, the enthusiasts who are writing it. You will also be hurting yourself. Programs will become more expensive due to smaller sales or won't come to exist in the first place.
